Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 306 The Difficulty of the Void Battlefield (Bonus Chapter 12 this Month)
"This token was given to him by me. Whatever your request, as long as it is within my power, I will do my best to help you."

Hearing this, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that his personal emotions would affect what followed, so he simplified his explanation and stated what he wanted.

"The qualifications to enter the Void Battlefield? That's a bit difficult."

How much do you know about the Void Battlefield?

Gu Qing pondered for a moment before explaining.

"All we know is that it was a fragment of the Cangwu Realm that was knocked down by a powerful being at the beginning of the Second Great War between Humans and Demons, and it has been lost in the void for many years."

"It was not until the end of the Second World War that it was found by the Twelve Immortal Lords and became interdependent with the Cangwu Realm."

Fairy Huanyin nodded: "That's right, that's its origin, but its true purpose is to invade other worlds, like a springboard."

"In the vast wilderness, the human race is led by the Twelve Immortal Sects, which cooperate with the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas in the Void Battlefield, occupying half of the land and possessing four stable interdimensional teleportation arrays."

The Eight Desolate Demon Clan occupies the other half and has three stable inter-realm teleportation arrays. In other words, since the invasion of other realms began, seven worlds have been conquered by the cultivators of the Cangwu Realm.

This is also the main source of cultivation resources for many mid-to-third-grade cultivators.

Speaking of this, Gu Qing was also puzzled.

That's why the founders of the immortal sects were so keen on plundering the resources of other worlds, even considering them the best place for mid-to-third-grade cultivators to cultivate, bar none!

If he had any questions, he asked, and Fairy Huanyin gave him an explanation.

"I don't think I need to explain much about the essence of the Four Nine Immortal Path [Spirit Ascension Path]. In principle, cultivation at the middle three-grade level is feasible in the Cangwu Realm, and there are even many sacred cultivation grounds. In terms of speed alone, it is not slower than the Void Battlefield, and may even be faster."

"But... Heaven does not approve."

Gu Qing frowned in thought, a vague guess forming in his mind.

"Ascension Tribulation?"

"good."

Fairy Huanyin arrived at the edge of the waterside pavilion, leaned lazily against the railing, and said softly.

"From the moment a cultivator enters the middle third rank, their actions will be watched by the Heavenly Dao of the Cangwu Realm, including devouring Yin and Yang, manipulating the Five Elements, Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, seeking the Dao and rebelling against immortality, and so on."

These cultivation practices essentially deplete the resources of the Cangwu Realm. The more resources are used, the heavier the weight they carry in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, and the greater the power they will wield during future tribulations, until they perish under the Ascension Tribulation.

"Everyone is happy."

The four-character idiom used by Fairy Huanyin to describe her is simply apt.

It should be noted that this has been the case since the founding of the Four Nine Immortal Path.

The environment today is far more prosperous than in ancient times, and the spiritual energy is becoming more abundant every day. Behind this is the result of countless cultivators who failed to transcend tribulations.

With the improvement of the overall environment, the difficulty of cultivation has actually decreased, which has led to the emergence of powerful cultivators. With more people achieving immortality, the Heavenly Dao is not comfortable.

If he dies, not only will Heaven be pleased, but Gu Qing and his descendants will also enjoy blessings. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation? It's just that it would be a hardship for the sages of the past...

The essence of spiritual practice is not so mysterious; it is nothing more than:

Absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, borrow the wonders of heaven and earth, peek into the laws of heaven and earth, seize the essence of heaven and earth, extract the marrow of heaven and earth, sacrifice to the spirit of heaven and earth, defy the principles of heaven and earth, in order to seek immortality.

The core principle can be summed up in one word: "Seize".

In order to reduce the power of the Dao Tribulation, they robbed from their local area to another place, and ran away after robbing. The local officials couldn't punish them, and the local officials didn't manage to rob them. They might even bring a lot of foreign exchange wealth. Wouldn't they love them to death?

Rough words are not rough.

In short, the Void Battlefield is such a product.

Therefore, access to resources is far more difficult than imagined. Even though Fairy Huanyin is a fifth-rank Dao Lord, she cannot decide the number of slots at will and must discuss it with everyone.

This involves an exchange of benefits.

Having explained the pros and cons, Gu Qing had a general idea of ​​what was going on. If it were in Baiyue Mountain, with his impeccable revolutionary background, he would definitely have a spot.

But now we are in Yunmeng Mountain. If he squeezes in, it will inevitably harm the interests of others, and any cooperation that could potentially yield more benefits will be difficult to carry out.

There's a saying, "One radish, one hole," meaning sometimes you only dig a hole after the radish has appeared. That's so damn true.

"Senior Huanyin, is there any way?"

"It definitely exists, but it's a bit troublesome, it depends on whether you're willing to do it."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Alright, the Holy Fire Cult will receive one of the next batch of admission slots, but they seem to have some connection with the demons of the far north."

"Find this devil, kill him, and make sure the evidence is complete. Then, it will be perfectly legitimate for me to take this spot for you and give it to you."

Gu Qing understood and narrowed his eyes.

The Holy Fire Cult... What a twist of fate! He was already having some ideas about the Holy Ancestor's Fire Pool.

The idea that humans and demons cannot coexist is only applicable in the Eight Desolations, but the idea that humans and demons cannot coexist is universally applicable throughout the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, making it a suitable reason to attack an enemy.

Are there any specific time requirements?

"No new worlds have been discovered in the Void Battlefield for many years. I heard that some discoveries have been made in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain. A group of people will be gathered to explore it within fifty years."

“This time, the quota is more valuable than ever before, and many people are eyeing it. There may be others who are also eyeing the Holy Fire Church. You must obtain sufficient evidence or eliminate all competitors.”

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Senior Huanyin."

"It's alright. After this matter is over, all social connections with him will be severed."

"understood."

The implication was that she would only help Gu Qing this once, and that their relationship would end after entering the Void Battlefield; their friendship would end with this incident.

After finishing their business, Gu Qing was escorted out of the mountain gate by Fairy Huanyin. Fifty years was plenty of time, and it might be earlier or later, depending on the progress at Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

After leaving Yunmeng Immortal Mountain.

He flew towards the nearshore area while pondering.

Gu Qing finally understood the difficulty of the Void Battlefield. He still had to investigate the Holy Flame Sect. He wasn't good at investigation and evidence collection, but he was quick to smear others.

If all else fails, she can just throw accusations around and make the false seem true. With Fairy Huanyin's cultivation level, her status in Yunmeng Mountain is not low. As long as Gu Qing's reasons are plausible, she has the power to make a final judgment.

So it doesn't seem that difficult.

The key lies in the competitors; we don't know who they are, and their backgrounds are of utmost importance.

half a month later.

Having successfully returned to the Beidou Islands in the near-shore area, Gu Qing did not stay at the Yun family's place again, but instead went to the No. 1, Jia-class Red Wave Immortal Workshop on Yuquan Island.

Two years later, we await our journey to the secluded island.

Once the promise to the Yun clan is fulfilled, then we can deal with the Sacred Fire Cult.

Of course, we can't just sit idle either.

Although cultivating in this realm will increase the power of the tribulations you will encounter in the future, you shouldn't give up on it altogether.

The combination of the Nine-Nine Mystic Arts and the Gluttonous Beast Technique provides a fairly fast basic cultivation speed. Gu Qing mainly absorbs the power of the Yin, Yang, and spiritual energy to steadily cultivate the [Yin-Yang Hundred Apertures].

The speed is actually not slow. It can stably cultivate one aperture every month, which would take about 720 months, or 60 years.

For a sixth-grade cultivator, this is actually not slow.

Without any external assistance, relying solely on breathing exercises, he had already reached his limit.

With the subsequent opening of the Two Elements Transformation and the Heavenly Gang Position, it will take him about two hundred years to reach the lower level of perfection through meditation.

That's really fast.

If one has pure Yin-Yang power to accelerate the process, it can shorten the time by more than half. It's better to be faster, as the stronger one is, the more one can attain true freedom.

And so, two years later...
